I'm gonna miss this anime... with so many questions never answered
2nd season was good in a way that it had a lot of for-fans scenes like Mio x Minna, Ursula and Marseilles' appearance, Eila x Sanya, Charlotte x Barkhorn x Erica etc.
without that, the plot was pretty.. ehm

that image posted earlier looks like a new... season? it looks like the witch that the figurine Miyafuji got was based on lol
I hope Miyafuji still has powers, because I really want to see Miyafuji "shousa" in the anime someday (I heard there was some kind of bad end where Mio dies and Miyafuji takes over her in some game..?)

Miyafuji losing all her powers!? what the hell!! thats just plain stupid!!

The hero sacrificing oneself to save others has been a common motif since stories were told. Giving up the chance to fight again to ensure the safety of the greater good. It's a poetic thing, and has some messianic elements if the writers play it strong enough.

6.5/10
I still prefer the first tv serie that had a better plot imo, this second serie seems a dejÓ-v¨ with no plot development at all. I'm wondering if AIC will do a third serie, after all Yoshika father is still MIA.

Miyafuji losing all her powers!? what the hell!! thats just plain stupid!!

I think this was done purposely so that way the likely third season will follow in the same footsteps of the previous two seasons when it comes to the first two episodes (i.e. nothing really happens in the first episode as it's set mostly at Miyafuji's home town, with the second episode being where the real fun begins).

The more I think about it, while I did enjoy the last episode, I think the ending seems stupid. I mean, first we went from Yoshika's powers being too strong for her striker unit to handle (which was necessary for an upgrade,) to giving up her power just to destroy the hive with the Shinreppuzan. I mean being that her magic was very powerful to begin with, you would think that such an attack wouldn't drain all her magic completely.

I couldn't agree more with that idea. Though I hope the third Strike Witches anime would be better than season 2.

The ending was INCREDIBLY stupid.

First, they're all out of power. Then Yoshika has not only enough power to fly, but also to make shields and then to power the big sword like it's never been powered before. And she doesn't even know how to use it. Then they all have power enough to fight... Oh, what's the point?

There were some great explosions and one-frame crotch shots. And the sight of the largest battleship ever built plunging head first into the ocean from a great height was quite amazing. I kept mumbling to myself "That is going to be one BIG splash!"

I wonder what would really happen? I know water in that situation is like concrete, however this ship had probably 9" of streamlined solid steel bow armor and 1150 watertight compartments. I wonder if it wouldn't just bob right up to the surface almost as good as new?

I think we should remember all the good things. All the cute girls and all the pantsu. We've been spoiled. We've had a steady diet of pantsu for 2 seasons. Pantsu don't grow on trees, you know! Before too long, we'll be sorely missing this ridiculous show.

It had a potential to be unique war military theme anime... but seems that Humikane and the production people chose another path and was more inclined to turn it into a fanservice centered franchise..

Well, I'll just respect him for that and still love his illustrations and all...

but hey~ That's where the market is nowadays~ Not that I hate fanservice.. being a guy. it's a welcome bonus for me... but too much of everything is bad as they say ^^;

I admit, giving this anime too much raised eyebrows and perhaps subtle bashing already so i apologize for that..

But my sentiment remains the same..

Strike Witches 2 was even more disappointing than Strike Witches 1

Yup, the final episode was so ridiculous...
How can Yoshika even see a sword that's around 2000+ feet up and around some kilometers away from her whilst being obstructed by Yamato's Hull...

How the heck did the girls recharge so fast? thought they were out of Magic energy?

I think it's a sign of "Oh noes we're running out of screen time.. just make Yoshika ShinReppuzan this giant piece of red crystalline jelly!"

Why did they run out of screen time? They focused their energies in "more important things" (fanservice? lol) as Humikane pointed out in that interview at Page 1 of this thread.
Well at least most people seem to be happy ~

Anyways, I'll miss some things like those Striker Units... the Blockhead Trude and Erica ^ Anyway I have a figure of Hartmann so she's still with me in a sense ^^;
All the engine sounds... pretty accurate sounds that made Shirley's P-51 breathe like P-51 and all the other Striker units ^

It's something insignificant but considering how other shows smacks in generic sound effects for their planes.. AIC did a great job..

Although I won't miss the pantsu and the crotch shots. There was so much in it I'm already puking LOL..
